俄勒冈州人类服务厅(ODHS)11月11日宣布,将在未来数月采取多项措施,进一步提高补充营养援助计划(SNAP,俗称食品券)福利发放的准确性,确保俄勒冈州居民领取到正确金额的食品援助。作为这项工作的一部分,该厅将在2026年11月与12月对8万多个现有食品券个案进行多轮收入准确性核查,明年还将安排更多轮次。从11月21日起,申请或续领食品券的居民在计算福利时,如需计入住房与水电费用,必须提供相关费用证明。俄勒冈州人类服务厅资格合作项目临时主任杰西卡·阿玛亚·霍夫曼表示,核查的目的是让福利金额更准确,并提醒相关家庭留意即将寄出的通知,按要求提交资料,以免福利受到影响。该厅强调,准确发放既保障真正有需要的家庭,也维护纳税人资金的合理使用,相关核查将依法进行并保护申请人隐私。
Oregon Department of Human Services Announces Nov. 11 Crackdown on Food Stamp Accuracy; More Than 80,000 Cases to Be Checked in November and December
The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) announced on November 11 that it will take several steps in the coming months to further improve the accuracy of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, commonly known as food stamps) benefit payments, ensuring Oregon residents receive the correct amount of food assistance. As part of the effort, the department will conduct multiple rounds of income-accuracy checks on more than 80,000 existing food stamp cases in November and December 2026, with more rounds planned next year.
Starting November 21, residents applying for or renewing food stamps who need housing and utility costs counted in their benefit calculation must provide proof of those expenses. Jessica Amaya Hoffman, interim director of the department's eligibility partnership program, said the checks aim to make benefit amounts more accurate, and reminded affected households to watch for notices in the mail and submit documents as required so their benefits are not affected. The department stressed that accurate payments both protect families truly in need and safeguard taxpayer funds, and that the checks will be conducted lawfully with applicants' privacy protected.
